Chapter Text

Lumine, Paimon and Albedo are in Dragonspine, confronting the other Albedo.

"You've caused a lot of trouble, you shouldn't have done that in Mondstadt. You almost destroyed the city!" Lumine said to Primordial Albedo

"So what? Those things are for him." Primordial Albedo replied while looking at Albedo.

He started to run towards Lumine but Albedo blocked Lumine and pushed her away for her safety.

===================================

Snow is falling.

Thick snow appears on the ground of the mountain called Dragonspine.

Two alchemists are fighting, alchemists made from chalk.

One is a supposed failure while the other is the perfect one.

"Albedo, wait!" Lumine called out to him, holding her sword as Albedo is clashing with Primordial Albedo.

Loud clashing of swords started as Primordial Albedo begins to have a hard time.

"You stupid, perfect creation!" He yelled at Albedo with the aura of hatred and jealousy.

"We have to stop now...Let's not fight anymore." Albedo told him seriously

The two Albedos then ran towards the forest, leaving Lumine and Paimon behind. They keep on clashing until Primordial Albedo jumped high to use his power to defeat him, that is until-

Albedo moved swiftly then sliced off his right leg and arm, then puncturing his chest with his sword. Primordial Albedo then falls to the snowy ground. Blood started to spread within the snow, he started to feel weak, like he's dying.

"You shouldn't have defeated me, I was the one who's supposed to defeat you!" Primordial Albedo yelled at him while his arm and leg were sliced off

"*cough*, why...how can I, who just escaped from the dragon's belly will just receive a bad ending?" Primordial Albedo speaks in a gloomy way, whilst the anger is there but it's dying down.

"I am sorry..." Albedo stands in front of him with a sad expression

Albedo suddenly covered his right ear after hearing a ringing sound, he theorized that it's coming from Durin's heart in Wyrmrest Valley.

"What is this, what am I hearing?" Albedo thought, but the ringing sound stopped. "N-nevermind about that." He shook his head.

"I get it, you have a great life here, you've met many friends and loved ones." Primordial Albedo told him, as his body begins to crumble.

He started talking about Klee and Sucrose; "At least I get to experience talking to your little sibling and your lab assistant."

"All that's left is me passing on..." He continued

"Master said that I was the failure and your the perfect one. Heh, it dosen't matter now since I'll always know that I am perfect and useful." Primordial Albedo said while his is laying in the snow, injured.

"Don't forget, you have the corruption too, unlike me. Just like master's dragon, you'll be just like him soon, spreading destruction that's more brutal than what I did. In this mountain, or rather, the city you lived." Primordial Albedo smirked while saying his final words before crumbling away.

After Primordial Albedo crumbled away, Albedo looked in the sky feeling sadness and grief. Lumine and Paimon reached him but the battle is over.

"It's over now..." Albedo said to Lumine. Both Paimon and Lumine looked at him in a sad way as a reply.

Notes:
